Hubble Image Canvas Print: The Heart Of The Whirlpool Galaxy

New images from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope are helping researchers view in unprecedented detail the spiral arms and dust clouds of a nearby galaxy, which are the birth sites of massive and luminous stars. The Whirlpool galaxy, M51, has been one of the most photogenic galaxies in amateur and professional astronomy. Easily photographed and viewed by smaller telescopes, this celestial beauty is studied extensively in a range of wavelengths by large ground- and space-based observatories. This Hubble composite image shows visible starlight as well as light from the emission of glowing hydrogen, which is associated with the most luminous young stars in the spiral arms. Medium, 15" x 12"; Large, 20" x 16". Made in USA. Allow 2-3 weeks. No gift box or rush delivery. Item can only be shipped within the Continental US.
